Query Database

get active alias_table

Display the active alias table for the user issuing the statement.

get attribute_info

Get attribute member, dimension, and name information for the specified attribute member.

get attribute_spec

Display the current attribute specifications for the database. These specifications include attribute member name format, Attribute Calculation dimension member names, Boolean and date member names, and numeric range specifications. These settings are defined in Outline Editor.

get currency_rate

Display the currency rate for every currency partition.

get dbstats dimension

Get information about dimensions.

Output

The index_type field values are numeric, and translate as follows:

0   Dense
1               Sparse
3               None (database is aggregate storage)

get dbstats data_block

Get information about data blocks. The information returned has little relevance to aggregate storage databases.

Output

The type field values are numeric, and translate as follows:

0               Array
1               AVL (or "B+ Tree")

get default calculation

View the contents of the calculation designated as default for the database. The default calculation refers to either the relations defined in the database outline (CALC ALL) or to the set of calculation strings defined as the default database calculation.

get member_info MEMBER-NAME

Get information on a specific member.

Output

The unary_type field values are numeric, and translate as follows:

0               Add
1               Subtract
2               Multiply
3               Divide
4               Percent
5               NoRollUp

The member_tag_type field values translate as follows:

0               SkipNone
16384           SkipMissing
32768           SkipZero
49152           SkipBoth
1               BalFirst
2               BalLast
4               TwoPass
8               Average
64              Expense

Variations are possible. The field value consists of one of the first four "skip" values plus any/all/none of the last five values. Some examples:

0               SkipNone
77              SkipNone, BalFirst, TwoPass, Average, Expense
16385           SkipMissing and BalFirst

The first four "skip" values are base values, and added to them are combinations of 1, 2, 4, 8, and 64.

The status field values are hexadecimal, and translate as follows:

0               Normal
1               Never Share
2               Label
4               Refer Share
8               Refer Share (with different name)
16              Implicit share
32              Virtual Member (stored)
64              Virtual Member (not stored)
2048            Attribute
32768           Referred

get member_calculation MEMBER-NAME

View the formula associated with the selected member.

get estimated size

Display an estimate of the number of blocks a database will create after full calculation (CALC ALL), based on the number of blocks that exist before calculation. The database can have all data loaded, or it can have a random sampling of data loaded. Outlines that contain sparse formulas of any type or top-down formulas are not supported. Results of the estimation on such databases may be invalid.

performance statistics...table

Display one of several choices of performance statistics tables. Before you can use this statement, you must enable performance statistics gathering, using alter database DBS-NAME set performance statistics enabled.

list alias_table

Get a list of alias tables that are defined for the database.

list alias_names in alias_table

List the alias names defined in an alias table. Alias tables contain sets of aliases for member names and are stored in the database outline. Use this grammar to see a list of alias names defined in the specified table.

list lro

Get information about linked objects, including the object type, name, and description, based on criteria you specify. If you specify both a user name and modification date, objects matching both criteria are listed. If you specify no user name or date, a list of all linked objects in the database is displayed.

list...file information

Get accurate index and data file information. Provides index and data file names, counts, sizes, and totals, and indicates whether or not each file is presently opened by Essbase. The file size information is accurate. Note that the file size information provided by the Windows operating system for index and data files that reside on NTFS volumes may not be accurate.

list transactions

Display, in the MaxL Shell window, database transactions that were logged after the time when the last replay request was originally executed or after the last restored backup's time (which ever occurred later).

list transactions after LOG-TIME

Display, in the MaxL Shell window, database transactions that were logged after the specified time. Enclose the TIME value in quotation marks; for example: '11_20_2007:12:20:00'

list transactions after LOG-TIME write to file PATHNAME_FILENAME

Write the list of database transactions to the specified file. The list output is written to a comma-separated file on the Essbase Server computer.

Provide the full pathname to an existing directory and the name of the output file. If only the output filename is provided, Essbase writes the file to the ARBORPATH/app directory.

When writing to an output file that already exists, you must use the force grammar to overwrite the file.

list transactions force write to file PATHNAME_FILENAME

Overwrite the contents of an existing output file.

list transactions after TIME...write to file PATHNAME_FILENAME

Write the list of database transactions that were logged after the specified time to the specified file.

score miner ...

Scoring a model is similar to applying a model to the data in a database. However, scoring is executed synchronously and the results are not written back into the database; rather, they are returned in XML for Analysis format. To load a model in preparation for scoring, see create mining result. To score a model, use this statement. To unload the model after scoring, use alter system stop mining session.
